Pumpkin flavored cocktails have been a hit for a few years and everyone is looking for recipes, which were rather hard to find until recently. This is another great one that features Grey Goose's La Poire and proves the point (backed up by the Pumpkin Divine and Falling Leaf Fizz) that pumpkin and pear are a perfect pairing for fall cocktails.
One thing I have to note about the recipe is that the finger-dipping simple syrup is not the most sanitary and clean hands are a must. What I do recommend is using the standard rimming method, place the cinnamon-sugar in a shallow dish and dip the rim. For the cinnamon sugar, I found it best to mix 2 parts sugar with 1 part ground cinnamon.
